35497 - WDCC - 10th Anniversary - Pickaxe - Misc - Disney Licensed

Pin Description:

To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Walt Disney Classics Collection Society (Anniversary titled “Decade of Dreams”), this 12 pin set was released for a limited time. Every year, the Collection used a different production mark to indicate the year the collectors item was released. Each mark represents an important piece of Disney Animation. These productions marks include this 1998 pickaxe (dwarfs' mining tool to celebrate Disney’s Diamond Anniversary). The pickaxe is representative of the dwarf’s diamond mining pick ax. This is a of double importance as "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was the first full length animated feature, made all the more impressive by being a fully technicolor feature. The dwarfs’ Diamond connection also perfectly represents The Walt Disney Company’s Diamond Anniversary that was being celebrated in 1998, the same year this production mark was used. The pickaxe is a tan enamel on a gold-colored base metal. It is a pin-on-pin with the base pin being the main logo of the WDCC in a shade of Prussian Blue.

The back of the pin has Singing Harp (2003 production mark) waffling. Under the single post is a smoothed box with the following information: "©Disney Walt Disney Collectors Society Exclusive 1998 China." The pin back is a plain black circle. This set came in an embossed box.
